It's not actually the nightmare many make it out to be with ES6. I actually enjoy writing it quite a bit (I have mainly a functional background)

Yea, fwiw these days it is much better. But i think the biggest issue is simply the lack of choice. On my OS, i can choose whatever language i want. Whether i choose for preference, or the right tool for the job, i have choices, many of them.

On the web it's.. well, just JS. Some languages that transpile to JS.. but ultimately they're all pretty much just JS.
